I installed the new kernel from sup sources yesterday. Since I've installed
the new kernel, I am getting about 1-2 second delays everytime I type a
command or do most anything. These characters in VI are coming up somewhat
okay, but everything else is crawling... Any ideas? It seems to be whenever
something needs to access the disk.. Here are the processes running..
